He was about five rows from putting that last one out of the stadium. And that's not an exaggeration.

Stanton's extension is so beautiful. All-Star Alvarez you just knew it.

I think they should just make it one round and the most home runs wins.

It used to be that way. This way means a longer broadcast time and lets them sell more ads.

Berman's comparison of Gwynn and Puckett was poor.

Tony Gwynn was a great man. Kirby Puckett had some great traits and did some great things, but also had some significant flaws.
